Are you gifted, but stuck in a cycle of unrealized potential?
You’re smart, capable, and full of untapped potential. But no matter how hard you try, something always seems to stand in the way of turning that potential into real, lasting results.
It’s not bad luck. And it’s not a lack of skills or motivation. The truth is, it’s your mindset that’s keeping you stuck.
As a gifted individual, you’re wired differently. Traditional mindset strategies that work for others just don’t cut it for you. You might find yourself:
- Overthinking every decision, doubting your abilities, and second-guessing your worth.
- Boxed in by societal pressures to hide your differences and act 'normal' instead
- Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of your own expectations, and afraid of coming up short.
- Falling into self-sabotage, procrastination, or perfectionism when things start to get real.
From stuck to success
Unlike other courses that offer one-size-fits-all advice, this course is designed specifically for gifted individuals like you—people who face unique challenges in translating their incredible potential into tangible success.
No More Stalling. It's Time to Break Through.
This course isn’t about wishing for success—it’s about creating it. You’ll walk away with real tools that you can implement immediately to stop stalling, break free from self-imposed limits, and start living the life you are meant to live.
Can you relate?
- You're no 'genius', struggle to tell others you're gifted, and often feel like a fraud
- You downplay your abilities to avoid seeming arrogant
- You avoid failure, because it would prove you can’t live up to the high expectations
- You want to follow your own path, but self-doubt holds you back
- You're overwhelmed by options, and struggle to choose what you really want
- You feel the weight of untapped potential, and it’s gut-wrenching
- You're always adapting and masking who you really are, yet you crave authenticity
- You never feel 'good enough', leaving you forever stuck in preparation mode
- Meanwhile, others with less talent are out there succeeding, and it stings...
But what if...
You had access to a tried and tested course that tackles all the biggest roadblocks, and you receive the tools and support to actually overcome these?
Imagine this...
- You break free from internalized stigma and fully embrace your gifted mind
- Choosing what to do with your life feels fun and exciting. Goodbye FOMO!
- Failure no longer scares you—it thrills you!
- You feel confident about your giftedness, no longer ashamed
- You set your own course, stay true to your authentic self, and trust your path
- You’re kind and supportive to yourself, your own biggest cheerleader
- You get out of stagnation and into flow—no more stalling and slowing down
- Your outer reality starts aligning with your inner potential
- Inner peace follows as you become the person you’ve always known you could be.
Want these results? Let's get to work, together. Join the online 8-week live 'Mindset for Gifted Minds' course. We start in April.

Clients about Simone
Simone saw through my self-limiting beliefs, went beyond the standard solutions I had already tried, she saw me and she switched me on. I was bursting with energy after our sessions, I experienced many break-throughs, learnt a huge deal, and for the first time in my life, someone fully understood me and didn’t think I was weird or ‘too much’. Her coaching has changed my life completely. Before, I was switched off and tired. Now, I am exploding with energy.
Annemiek Kinneging, Artist
Thanks to Simone's coaching, I now constantly do things out of my comfort zone, I challenge thoughts that keep me small, I acknowledge my giftedness and my quest for balance between action and relaxation, I listen to what my feelings tell me, and I trust my intuition, even if it makes me do scary things.
In short; thank you for being the fuel for my growth. You gave, and still give, me wings!
Christel Opstal, Brain Injury Expert
Through her constant and/and-approach (rather than either/or), and her capacity to both explore and challenge limitations, as well as redefine the possible, Simone inspired me to recognize a glowing creative urge to develop myself within the rebellious artistic forms I discussed with her. How bountiful! In short, an encounter with Simone opens the doors to your desires, vision, and possibilities. ‘What a joy it is to be alive!’ Is what my heart told me afterwards.
Lotte van Lith, Coach
I decided to work with Simone to regain my self-confidence and find a meaningful purpose in life. During the sessions, we discussed themes like self-esteem, procrastination, imposter syndrome, inner critic, and more. We also worked on creating a life vision that resonates with me. Through her coaching, I was mirrored in a way that I often miss in daily life. She helped me realize that all the little pieces did fit into one big puzzle.
Nathalie de Vos, Former Pro Athlete
FAQs
Isn't mindset 'wishy washy'?
It can be! But that's not at all what you'll encounter in this course. Trust me, I too am allergic to wishy washy stuff... This course is designed to be your personal toolbox, full of practical insights, best practices, actionable tips and strategies to make a real difference.
Will this really help me?
This course is incredibly comprehensive, and I am confident that it offers everything you need to break through mental barriers holding you back. BUT. I can't do the work for you. You have to do that yourself, be committed, and go fully in. If you do so, this course will undoubtedly help you.
Am I 'gifted enough' for this?
Ahhh there's a lovely mindset block popping up. Perfect opportunity for you to start challenging your doubts and insecurities. I know this may feel scary, intimidating even (hello, imposter syndrome!). Which only confirms how badly you need this course ;)
When are the live sessions?
Timing of the live sessions will vary. They will take place on different days of the week, to ensure all participants will have a chance to attend the sessions live. Can't make a session? No stress, you can watch the replay afterwards. You retain access for a full year.
What if I don't like the course?
I offer a 100% money-back guarantee if, after you've actively engaged with the materials (videos, exercises, Q&As), you think: this isn't for me. If you're dissatisfied, but can show me you've really tried, I will give you your money back. So your purchase is entirely risk-free.
Not a fan of group programs?
This program is a blend of self-study and group Q&As. The course gives you flexibility to decide how invoved you want to be in the community. But you might be surprised... Being among gifted people is VERY different from what you're used to. Give it a try!
We start in April 2025! Join before March 17th to save €155 on your investment.
